expecting a few changes. by about 7:30, 7:00 a.m., that's still going to stay more along the north bay sitting off the coast. fast forward to about 10:00 a.m., that's when we'll really start seeing a few pop-up isolated heavy rainfall moments, especially out near napa. san francisco, out near oakland as well, you will see periods of heavy rainfall, also the possibility of some southerly winds kicking up anywhere between 15 to 30-mile-per-hour costs. it will be one of those days where you're going to want to have that umbrella ready. fast forward to sunday at 11:00 a.m. and the majority of the bay area is really going to start seeing some of that rainfall, including the south bay out near the san jose area along with those breezy to windy conditions, but we are expecting to clear out just in time for halloween. it looks like we will have a moment, a break in that rainfall anywhere between 10:00 and 11:00. if you had late night dinner

plans, that will be your best bet but the clouds will stick around. by about 11:00, we'll see the arrival of a second cell and what that's going to do is kick up the possibility of some rain. by 3:00 in the afternoon, we are expecting san francisco, point reyes, and santa rosa to start seeing some more rainfall and those late showers fast forwarding to about 5:00, they'll be widespread. if you had plans to go out trick-or-treating at around 4:00 or 5:00, bring the kiddos, bring the rain gear, bring on the light sweater. you don't want to get caught in the rain, especially not out trick-or-treating. it's going to be a wet one out there. by about 10:00, that rain stays in the forecast. could be seeing some early morning rainfall, but now want to go ahead and focus on the wind speeds. the southerly winds right now not too bad, about 14 miles per hour. as that cold front continues to push through by around 9:30 a.m., san francisco, napa should start seeing some rain. at about 9:45, look at those winds. 22 miles per hour. san jose at about 16 by about

10:30. those gusty conditions remain and 12:30, that's when we're expecting the strongest of those gusts. san francisco, 32 miles per hour. out here in napa in the 30s and even redwood city and san jose, we're talking 29-plus miles per hour. it's going to get windy and gusty. i want to remind folks if you had a weekend plan in tahoe, the national weather service has issued a winter storm warning for anything between 8:00 and 11:00 above 6,500 feet. and your halloween forecast is definitely going to be a soggy one, so please don't be caught off-guard. please remember to bring that umbrella in hand. over the next seven days we're expecting the rainfall to stick around in the forecast through monday and tuesday. not just for san francisco, but also inland. so we should be having some moments of clarity into the mid of next week. it will be a rainy day. we'll have all the latest updates coming up for you. >> thanks so much.

it's time to vote yes on proposition 55.

professional. the bernal scream is making its debut under a tent in the parking lot of san jose's oak ridge mall. >> would it matter if we changed the pressure here? >> you can. yeah, change it. >> reporter: this time it's $100,000 they have sunk in and who knows how many man hours. it's a financial risk, but a father/son slam dunk. >> you know, whether we make not a penny on this, we still -- i feel like we've made it. we've succeeded. it's all about the bonding time. >> reporter: on a typical night this october, mike mans the front door while abe has the chain saw in back. in between plenty of things straight from abe and mike's imagination to make even the bravest of adults let out at least a little scream or as this te team would call it, music to their ears. >> there's something special that lies within magic if you're willing to believe. >> reporter: they knew getting

their bernal scream was going to be a big task. we heard from mike that wednesday night somebody broke into their tent and stole $25,000 worth of their equipment. they are, however, keeping the show on through halloween. garvin thomas, nbc bay area. >> and much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, why the san francisco bay looked more like a hollywood movie set this weekend. plus, furniture that's peeling off in bits and pieces. it might be in your home right now. consumers are demanding an explanation. nbc bay area responds to a national problem next. take a live look tside....

disappointed. >> reporter: he paid $800 for the furniture three years ago at united furniture club in santa clara. it's made with bonded leather. he says he didn't know what that meant but says the salesperson told him the material was durable and would last at least five years. but he says the peeling started after just two years. >> if i had known that they would self-destruct within two years of purchase, obviously i wouldn't have purchased them. >> reporter: when murali complained to united furniture club, the retailer told him the furniture had a one-year warranty so he was out of work. >> but we expect $800 to last us more than two years. >> reporter: mercedes and cliff to be harrison paid $1,300 for a furniture set from jennifer convertibles three years ago. they said they were led to believe they were buying genuine leather. >> if felt and smelled like leather, so we assumed it was leather. >> reporter: but their sales

receipt says bonded leather, and they say within two years the furniture started to crack. >> if we wanted raggedy furniture, we would have -- wouldn't have paid that kind of money. >> reporter: the harrisons felt some relief. they purchased a furniture protection plan but their claim was denied because cracking and peeling aren't covered. consumers across the country are having the same problem with bonded leather furniture. >> it comes off in sheets. >> reporter: our sister station in chicago has received more than 700 complaints. the leather industries of america is a trade group for suppliers. it didn't want to talk on camera but said marketers of bonded leather shall, quote, trying to fool consumers into thinking they're buying real leather. what is bonded leather anyway? not totally leather. it consists of ground up leather fibers glued to a piece of fabric, then the top layer is embossed to look like leather.

so on a puce piece of furniture there is no leather on the surface. >> no consumer should be bamboozled like this. it's not good business. >> reporter: the federal government has guidelines for bonded leather when it comes to accessories like handbags, shoes, and belts. on those products the percentage of leather must be disclosed on the label. but when it comes to furniture, there are no guidelines. and according to the leather industries of america, bonded leather used in furniture often consists of just 15% to 20% leather, sometimes even less. these consumers are frustrated they had to learn a costly lesson, but they hope they can help others. >> and i'm glad that we're making this -- making everyone aware of it. >> jennifer convertibles reiterated the fact that the harrison's receipt reads bonded leather but also said they shouldn't be having quality issues after just two years. it offered the harrison's $1,000 and united furniture refunded

murali $400. look for tags that read full grain leather or top grain leather. even genuine leather. second, ask questions about what it's made of and make sure you're getting what you pay for. if you have a tip for chris to investigate, let us know. you can call 1-888-996-tips or visit nbcbayarea.com/responds. well, the middle of the bay looked like the set of a blockbuster movie this weekend except this explosion was real. you're looking at the foundation of the old eastern span of the bay bridge that no longer exists. that's because crews imploded it around 11:30 yesterday morning using a whopping 12,000 pounds of explosives. the chp made sure no one was close to the blasting site. traffic on the bridge was slowed and the new bay bridge bike path was closed for the day. more than a dozen foundations are set for similar demolition

in the coming years. coming up, a world series drought is nearly over, and the sharks look to stay unbeaten at home. sports is next. traffic on the bridge was slowed the sharks at the tk -- wrappind

ainst nasille. the predators werlooki for some payback- -- a three-game home stand against nashville. the predators were looking for some payback after being knocked out of the playoffs by teen teal last season. many fans showing their halloween spirit at the s.a.p. center. they would leave in a good mood as well because this one was all san jose. the sharks jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second period and never looked back. san jose went on to win its third straight game and remain unbeaten at home. it beat the predators 4-1. and the city of cleveland is on the verge of its second championship this year. the indians defeated the cubs

7-2 in game four of the world series, taking a commanding 3-1 series lead. tonight the indians can wrap it all up, their first world series title since 1948. as we all know here in the bay area, not to rub it in, the cleveland cavaliers beat the warriors to win the nba title back in june. and zstill' head on "today n the bay," coming up, just when it looked like the presidential race was taking its final shape, another october surprise is shaking things up just days before the election. political analyst larry gerston yo joins us next. because she doesn't know that it kills 40,000 californians...

every year. because she doesn't understand what cancer is. because she can't spell emphysema. because she is a butterfly, who fights fires. because she is my daughter, and the surgeon general says that raising tobacco taxes... is a proven way to make sure she never smokes. that's why i'm voting yes on 56. has now hit twice.fit, donald t unwanted sexual adnces by h. d -- by a dozen women claiming unwanted sexual advances by him, and now new e-mail issues for hillary clinton who seemed on the inadvertently of a victory in the presidential election just days from now. nbc bay area's political analyst larry gerston is here. larry, what do we make of all this? >> well, we don't know.

we just don't know, at least for now. now, here is what we do know. while investigating potentially illicit messages from former congressman anthony weiner to an underage girl, the fbi found e-mails from his estranged wife and clinton top aide huma abedin. so after spending months of sorting out and not finding possible legal violations by hillary clinton from her private server, investigators are checking into abedin's e-mails. so this new e-mail match, it really put fbi director james comey in such a bind. you know, either he announces an investigation just days before the election and risks accusations of upending the clinton campaign, or he waits. he waits until after the election and risks accusations of withholding potentially valuable information. he chose the former, but it was a real catch-22. >> if this latest revelation about the investigation has to do with clinton's aide and not

her behavior specifically, what's all the fuss about? >> maybe the best way to describe it is to say guilt by association. you know that term, so do i. hillary clinton's e-mail issues dragged on for months with legitimate criticism that her private e-mail server could have jeopardized american foreign policy. now, after months, after months of ignoring public concerns, clinton finally apologized leading many to question her honesty and integrity. since then clinton has spent much of her campaign attempting to restore that trust and, you know what? with some success according to many polls. but the abedin e-mails, we open that issue just as voters are going to the polls. so the appearance of impropriety couldn't be worse, although we have no evidence. repeat, no evidence there's been any imprompropriety. >> but it's still taking a lot of headlines. is this changing the direction of the presidential race. >> again, with he don't know. there's so much we don't know

just nine days before the election. and we won't know. we won't know for several months in all likelihood. meanwhile, voters will weigh in on public opinion polls. that we'll snow know in the nex or three days. for many voters maybe the e-mail issue baked in. trump supporters likely to be angrier than ever, we expect that. but the biggest uncertainty lies with the sentiments of a few million americans who have not yet made up their minds. will this be a tipping point for them or more noise in an already clamorous campaign season? that's the big question. in battleground states like ohio and florida, nail-biters to begin with, where the race has been so tight, this development could be enough to move the needle. again, we have to wait and see. >> and i know, larry, we've seen a number of surprises both on the clinton side as well as the trump side. do we know what we can expect between now and november 8th? >> let's start with the negative. one thing we won't see is

further information from the fbi director comey. no, he's made it clear. he's made it clear that going through abedin's e-mails will take weeks, if not months. we will see donald trump pouncing on clinton for unethical behavior to chants of lock her up. that will be refreshing for a campaign that has been on the defensive really on life support for the last month. we can also expect the clinton campaign to go into a reset mode. they'll attempt to describe the v investigation as an unrelated issu issue. whether that works remains to be seen. for clinton, the question is whether the campaign will regain their footing with little more than a week to go. what fact is clear, republicans in congress, they're breathing a lot easier today about the re-election chances, and you can bet there will be new hearings with that republican majority in january, and that's the last thing, the very last thing, that a new administration would need should clinton win. >> political analyst larry

gerston. our guy in the know. larry, thanks so much. we appreciate it. and we'll be right back.

good morning, bay area. as you're waking up on this sunday, whether it's to pour yourself a cup of coffee or maybe just lying in bed to drink some tea, get ready for the rain because we're tracking a cold front. right now temperatures are in the 60s. peninsula, 61. already starting to see those gray clouds, that gray sky.

that should be sticking around formainder of your day. san francisco, 63. and down near the south bay at 60 degrees. yesterday we did top out at 70 in san francisco. i actually got a chance to check it out yesterday and thank goodness i did because today is going to be a whole different picture. we're expecting lots of rainfall. now, this is a live look right now at our radar, and it's still sitting off the coast but over the next couple hours really it's going to start approaching, hitting the north bay first. san francisco could be seeing some rain early on and here is a look at your hour-by-hour forecast. right now the majority of the bay area is seeing a little bit of cloud cover, getting mostly cloudy. but as we fast forward to about 10:30 a.m., widespread showers, and where you see that orange and the red, that's where heavy downpours could be causing an issue along with southerly winds anywhere between 50 to 30-plus-mile-per-hour gusts. fast forwarding through the day, if you had plans at about noon,

maybe a nice lunch outdoors, bring it indoors. this widespread rain should carry on over into your early afternoon, into your evening. by about 11:30 p.m. we are expected to get a break from that rain, but that cloud cover will stick around not just for the north bay but really all along the entire bay area, which means what about your halloween? well, a second round of storms will be making its way in as early as monday morning. the north bay could be seeing some early morning showers. maybe those commuters out there might want to take a little bit of extra time, but if you have trick-or-treaters and you're thinking about heading outside to trick-or-treat around 3:00 or 4:00, by 5:00 you're already going to start seeing some rainfall. want to add a rain coat, an um br l umbrella. the late showers should carry over for the majority of the light. if you have a late party on monday, please be extra careful

out on the roads. they could be seeing some soggy, soggy areas which means if you're going to be out all night, please be extra careful. take an uber. by sunday at about 10:00 a.m., these winds, will, look at that, already kicking up, san francisco, 22. half moon bay at 16. redwood city at 16. but the strongest of the winds will probably come around 11:00 a.m. right now the radars are showing the gusts could be kicking up to 32 miles an hour. san jose expecting up to 20-plus miles an hour. the national weather service has issued a winter storm warning for the sierra mountains. anything above 6,500 feet could be seeing 6 to 12 inches of snow. almost a foot to two feet above 7,500 feet. so if you had a tahoe trip planned, you may be spending it indoors, maybe a nice fireplace with your halloween costume. a quick look at the halloween forecast yet again. scattered showers, mainly in the

60s. a light sweater paired with that rain coat, you should be just fine. now, over the next seven days we'll see that train of rain really taking control of your sunday forecast, but also carrying over into your monday. early tuesday morning we could be seeing those showers and, of course, those 60s will be sticking around not just for san francisco but also inland. we should be catching a break in that rain finally by the midweek next week ahead. we're expecting partly cloudy skies but overall i'm actually enjoying this rain. i don't know. i think it would be better though if it didn't, you know, create any issues for the trick-or-treaters, but it's better to be safe. >> we're getting that sunshine back later in the week. >> exactly. musical legends are constantly coming to the bay area. you have probably seen many of them in concert and some even call the bay home. carlos santana grew up playing in san francisco. >> i barely went to high school. my alma mater was the streets and the fillmore, and i say it

with a badge of honor. >> santana shares his secret to getting an audience going during a concert on bay area rev lay g revelations. you'll also hear stories from huey lewis and others. bay area revelations airs tonight after sunday night football. really interesting to know everyone who has been a part of the bay area. >> it's nice hearing the history. >> and at music, too. thank you for joining us. for allowing us to be part of your morning. the 5:00 tune in for sunday night football followed by a special edition of nbc bay area news. a new edition of "bay area revelations" follow that is and we'll be back with you at 11:00. until then stay updated at nbcbayarea.com. have a great morning.
